I was in the 2nd Mar Div Band from 90 thru 94. I deployed to Dessert Shield/Storm with them.Out of 21 years in the service, I am most proud of the time I was at Lejeune!!!!
This is a true Marine Band! All of these kids started their careers at Parris Island or San Diego unlike the Presidents Own "token" musicians. Those guys in DC can' march a straight line compared to these field bands. A shout out though to MGYSGT Thom Kohl- retired Drum Major of the Presidents Own who, by the way, started out at the "Divi Band" in 87. Nice job! Keep it up!
I am honored to have been a part of this distinguished unit, so many years ago. Upon graduating the Armed Forces School of Music in 1988, Top Mike told me "welcome to the 5500 field Marine; serve it, and serve it with pride." I'll never forget. Semper Fi to all 5500s. Ross Riley
Looks like the old unit is still doing well.

So why does it say Camp Lejuene?
steve2112886 2 years ago
because the 2nd marine division band in Camp Lejuene had to cover for the Parris Island band because they went on leave
